P/J Bass wiring schematic help (is this possible?)

I have 3 fender P bass specials from the late 80's with passive P and J configurations. I know that they underwind the P so it does not overpower the J in this type of design, and the additional resistance in the J pickup electronics cause the P pickup (plus the underwinding) to not have the punch of a typical P bass.

So-
with all that understood, I would like to know if I could put in a alnico standard P bass pickup and a 2 way mini-toggle, with one side being the p bass pickup only, completely bypassing the J pickup and pots, and the other side being the original type wiring where I could blend in a little bridge pickup growl along with the P bass type pickup? If this is possible, could someone show me a wiring scheme? If not, then I am probably just going to replace the weak P bass pickup and wire it straight and take the jazz completely out so I can get my P bass tone.

Thanks for any help that's out there

 

thank you, but I guess I don't completely understand this drawing? It sounds exactly like what I am looking for, but this only shows what I am assuming to be the push / pull pot, but it doesn't show where any of the other wires lead to. do you have a complete wiring diagram, or am I just too thick to realize this is all I need.

Thank you again for your assistance

 

I don't have a blend pot, they are wired like a standard Jazz with 2 volumes and a tone. If I use the three way rotary then I lose the ability to control and vary the amount of Jazz pickup I bring in, and I don't really want to give up that option, plus I am not sure if that eliminates the additional loss of resistance through the additional pots. Thank you for the response.

 

That would be fantastic - Thank you

so would that be a three way toggle with <P solo / both on / J solo> or just simply a 2 way with <P solo / all on>
I guess either way is fine, but I was hoping to keep it as simple and unobtrusive as possible. I love the idea of just using a push / pull pot to solo the P bass with no other visible mods to the bass

 

I would think that the J pot would be easier, with it being wired that out is the solo P. That way I wouldn't hit it accidentally when using the p bass controls. push it in and everything is on, so the jazz controls are in play and no mistakes. does that make sense?

since you are so willing to help (and I do appreciate it very much, thank you), I will pick your brain one more time. What size pots would you recommend for a set up like this and are you a believer in the PIO caps or are the ceramic jobbies just as servicable?

 

yes - I did mean what value

500 , 250? anything else?

 

Ok one more time then I'm done -

so using this long story logic, then I should use V1 = 500k, V2 (push/pull) = 1meg, T=500k

that way - with the P bass solo, I am using 2 500k pots to equal 250k. with both pickups on and all three pots in play, I am still very close to the 250k.

 

great -
thanks. hope this helped anyone else with a P/J config.
